Michael D. Threadgill and coworkers at University of Bath report a very interesting synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted isoquinolin-1-ones and their biological evaluation against PARP-2.
This paper is specially relevant because of the difficulties of working with this class of compound such as insolubility and lack of reactivity. This is a HOT paper that will be free to access until 6th December.
A very neat synthesis relevant for the synthetic and medicinal chemistry communities.
